Time for an update...

In the time that I've neglected this thread I've had LPG fitted (what a difference!) and designed a new interior...

Here are a few little pics to keep you happy

Interior as it was...

I drew up a few designs...

And then tried them out using cardboard boxes...

This was really handy as we confirmed that we didn't want to close the walk through (which we were considering) and were able to play around with the position of the buddy seat and fridge.



Then we passed it on to Neil from FreeSpirit Interiors to do his magic!

Yummy

 

[s&mbay]

Very very nice bus.

 

[Irishpete]

Thanks for the kind comments guys

Next came the carcasses for the interior. This is why we chose FreeSpirit for the interior - curves are the order of the day!!!

Neil is a true craftsman and happy to tweak and change as much as we've needed.

She's nearly done now, just the electrics and propex to fit...

There will be a matching cushion on here

This is the fridge!

And then the gap around the poptop is all lined in matching walnut.

With the table stored above the cab area

And a stereo in the back for all those summer tunes!

That is a really nice bus mate...most impressed by the interior.unique and looks precision.

Wish my Mrs was as enthusiastic as yours!

Looks great Pete. Love the Paul Smith vinyl floor and especially love the curves combined with the wood.

Looks modern and classic at the same time.. Almost time to enjoy it.
